Episode 37: Stephanie

In this episode, I speak with Stephanie who has worked as a clinical social worker in both the homelessness and drug and alcohol sectors over the last 10 years. During this period she has developed a strong interest in challenging systemic and structural barriers, identifying solutions, and championing diversity. She completed a Masters of Public and Social Policy in 2020 and currently holds the role of Homelessness Health Program Manager for South Eastern Sydney Local Health District.Links to resources mentioned in this week’s episode:Homeless NSW - https://homelessnessnsw.org.au/Australian Housing and Urban Research Institute - https://www.ahuri.edu.au/Kirketon Road Centre - https://www.seslhd.health.nsw.gov.au/services-clinics/directory/kirketon-road-centreSt Vincent’s Hospital Homeless Health Service - https://www.svhs.org.au/our-services/list-of-services/homeless-health-serviceSBS video on delivering COVID education and vaccinations for Sydney’s homeless population - https://www.sbs.com.au/news/ensuring-sydney-s-homeless-community-can-access-the-covid-vaccineDepartment of Communities & Justice homelessness support - https://www.coronavirus.dcj.nsw.gov.au/services/housing-and-homelessnessSESLHD Homelessness Health Strategy - https://www.seslhd.health.nsw.gov.au/sites/default/files/2018-10/SESLHD%20Homelessness%20Health%20Strategy%2018-21.pdfThis episode's transcript can be viewed here:https://docs.google.com/document/d/1awBSlOIPiv7VDTwots_0YpKRc9zLsdhH0mKjT7ny0ko/edit?usp=sharingThanks to Kevin Macleod of incompetech.com for our theme music.
